Take My Breath Away

Evelyn was flustered by her father's sharp gaze. "Why are you asking me if you already know the answer? Dad, I'm almost thirty, and I need some privacy. Isn't Tayson going back to his hometown soon? Let him go back early."

"Nonsense! When Tayson leaves, I'll find a new bodyguard for you. You are not allowed to go anywhere alone."

Evelyn couldn't stand Carlos anymore. She pulled at her hair which unevenly fell over her shoulders and said irritably, "I want to get out."

"Why? Where are you going?" Carlos asked, his tone so cold that anyone else would have frozen over. But, not his dear daughter.

Evelyn raised her voice. "Dad! I don't get any freedom around you, do I? Stop the car!"

Terilynn was driving. She slowed down, but Carlos ordered coldly, "Terilynn, keep driving."

Debbie sighed. "Carlos, what are you doing? Evelyn should decide who she wants to be with. Stop worrying."

"No way! I have not meddled in her affairs before, but what did she give us in return? She got pregnant! And almost died after—"

"Dad!" Evelyn interrupted him. "Tell me. Why didn't you let me talk to them about that? You can do whatever you want, but I have to keep my mouth shut? Do you think I could hide my pregnancy from Joshua if we get married?"

"I'm not asking you to keep it from him. You can tell him in private. You can't just talk about it in a public place. And who is to blame for that, huh? You made the mistake of falling for the wrong guy." Carlos was fuming mad.

It was their first time arguing, and all because of a man none of them had ever seen, except Evelyn.

Trying her best to suppress her anger, she hissed in her sister's ear, "Terilynn, stop the car right now."

Terilynn also thought that they both needed to calm down. Ignoring Carlos' angry orders, she pulled over.

Carlos got out of the car after Evelyn and told his daughter coldly, "Evelyn, I will not allow you to see him."

Evelyn

you came to me. If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine."

"My father wants me to get engaged to Joshua."

Sheffield's grip tightened on her arms. "Did you agree?"

Evelyn didn't answer. "Do you need to go to the hospital tonight?" she asked softly, resting her head on his shoulder. She knew that it was not easy being a doctor; they often needed to work night shifts.

"No. I'm focusing on my research and development right now. I don't have to go to the hospital."

"How's the research going?"

Sheffield smiled, "Not bad. Evelyn, are you here because your father wants you to get engaged to Joshua? Did you have a fight?"

'Someone must have provoked her so badly for her to actually come to me voluntarily, ' he thought.

Evelyn didn't respond. She was in no mood to answer any of his questions. Right now, she regretted yelling at her father and getting emotional in front of him.

"Is it your work? Or do you have some family issues?" he pried.

She still remained silent.

Without asking any more questions, he kissed her forehead and said in a relaxed tone, "The password to my home is 934082. You can drop by any time you want."

"Why are you telling me this? I won't come here again." She was only here tonight because she was furious at her father.
